Will Bayern make amends for their unwise decision? Not only is a “steal” from rival Leverkusen in play, the talented Nagelsmann could return

The big moment for the whole Bundesliga is near. After 11 long seasons, Bayern Munich may not be happy to win the title. Moreover, Thomas Tuchel will leave the club in the summer. Who will take his place? There are several possibilities, but one is surprising.

The dominance seems to be over. Bayern Munich are unlikely to win their twelfth title in a row. It is not yet certain, but the Bavarian giant does not have the situation in its own hands. The Bundesliga is dominated by Leverkusen.

Xabi Alonso is handling his first coaching assignment in adult football perfectly. Last season he pulled his team out of the relegation places into the European Cups, in the current one he is breaking all possible records and going for the first title in Leverkusen’s history.

No wonder he is in demand. He is being linked with a move to Liverpool, where he could replace Jürgen Klopp, who has announced he will leave after the season. However, that is not the only address he could be heading to. Reportedly, Chelsea of London will also be in the running for him in the event of Mauricio Pochettino’s demise.

To make matters worse, the club that Alonso intends to dethrone may also be involved. Bayern Munich. The Bavarian big club have eyed him as a replacement for Thomas Tuchel, who will leave the Allianz Arena at the end of this season.

The Bundesliga hegemon had already contacted the Spanish coach. Moreover, Xabi has already commented on the speculation a week ago. But for the Munich team, the Leverkusen manager is not the only option.

Will Bayern Munich correct the unwise move?

It was the second half of March 2023. Bayern Munich made a shocking move that no one expected. And also a controversial one that provoked a lot of reactions. Julian Nagelsmann was incomprehensibly dismissed as head coach and Thomas Tuchel was appointed in his place.

Hasan Salihamidzic and Oliver Kahn, who made this decision, were themselves fired two months after Tuchel was hired. The chairman of the supervisory board, Herbert Hainer, made no secret of his frustration at not being sufficiently informed. Honorary president Uli Hoeness, for his part, publicly described the sacking of the talented coach as an unwise move.

The 36-year-old coach is now leading the German national team and will also lead them at the European Championships at home this summer. However, it is unclear whether he will lead it after that. According to the German media, this is a rather unlikely possibility.

But what happens next? The German Bild has come out with the information that although the Bavarian giant does not have an outright plan B in case of a rejection from Xabi Alonso, it will certainly not oppose Nagelsmann’s return.

Nagelsmann himself is reportedly not against it at all. After all, he hasn’t been given the opportunity to finish the job he’s done at the club. The players liked him. They took his departure hard. So did the fans. A return would make sense in every way.

It’s a shame to have a talented coach in the national team. He did well on the club scene. He’s already managed the club successfully, so it would be a notional safe bet on both sides.
